Court hearing for Henderson man accused of murder

Misty Carter

A Henderson County man who was the defendant in a first-degree murder trial earlier this month will be back in court Tuesday.

A judge declared a mistrial March 8 after a Henderson County jury failed to agree on whether Misty Lynn Carter was killed by her boyfriend, Jermaine Glover.

A hearing is planned at 2 p.m. Tuesday in Henderson County Superior Court to determine if Glover's bond should be lowered and to set a new court date. Glover remains behind bars under a $1 million bond.

Prosecutors sought a first-degree murder conviction for Glover during the two-week trial that ended March 8. Authorities said Glover killed Carter and dumped her nude, partially burned body next to the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The 21-year-old woman was found dead by a passer-by the morning of Oct. 19, 2009, near Milepost 395 in Buncombe County. Glover has maintained he is innocent.
